Amazon.co.uk Review
Thankfully hotels no longer attempt to look like offices with each one looking exactly the same as the next. Herbert Ypma, founder of the award-winning magazine Interior Architecture, has scouted around the world to find some of the most individual hotels. "Travel, even business travel, can still be an adventure," he writes in the introduction. "A Hip Hotel can turn a boring business jaunt into a stylish and stimulating experience." Ypma's book Hip Hotels: City--the first in a series of books on hotels--is a guidebook as well as a record of the work of some of the world's most famous designers: Terence Conran in Vienna, Anouska Hempel in London, Christian Liaigre in New York, Philippe Starck in Hong Kong, Edward Tuttle in Bangkok. Ypma has used more than 600 photographs rather than words to show the splendours of the hotels he chose. After all, words like "charming" and "beautiful" mean different things to different people. Hip Hotels can be read like a decor magazine--you keep it next to your bed and read a chapter or two when you feel like inspiration for decorating your own home. For those who are lucky enough to stay at these Hip Hotels, it's a useful guide when making travel arrangements.

I stayed in three of the 24 hotels featured in this book (Antwerp-London-New York) ; each time it was an extremely enjoyable experience. The book presents a selection of exquisite hotels that you can select blindly. I use the book as a guideline for selecting a hotel on the next business or private trip. Also if you're into interior decoration the book is a pleasure to glance through because of the nice pictures. I've experienced that the commentary is well written and most importantly reflects the atmosphere and ammenities of the hotels correctly.
Highly recommended - More than fulfilled my expectations May 7, 1999

Name a major city in the world, forget the cliche of the bboring chocolate on the pillow, enjoy the real pleasure of travel by discovering the true HIP secrets of a given city. The text was very well written and told me the secret shpping treasures of Milan or the great hideaways of Paris with always a funny twist.
